Perfect Love That Never Fails—Have You Found It Yet?

Share

Love written in sand

How many times have you been disappointed in love? You find that one wonderful person who is nearly everything you ever wanted in life and then—you’re crushed when they fail and fall short of your expectations. Unkind actions and words fly, and unforgiveness and bitterness grow. Your life becomes a cycle of drama-control and you long for peace. Soon, what once seemed so wonderful becomes a prison of sorrow. You long to go back to the time when love seemed perfect, but—that fairytale has disappeared and you’re left living in the cinders of a cold romance.

Yet, even from a prison of disappointment our soul has HOPE because—we KNOW we were made to experience a supernaturally perfect love.

How do we know this???

Because we were created in the image of God, and He has placed within us a knowledge of Himself: He IS perfect love.

I promise you, perfect love IS possible. And you’re not crazy to want it! Most of us are just looking for it in all the wrong places. To expect to receive perfect love from another imperfect human is to set yourself up for failure and disappointment. But yet, we ALL do it—over and over again. In fact, we expect the caliber of love from someone else that we, ourselves can’t give. That is irrational. So it’s no wonder we experience worry, fear, and insecurities in our human love relationships. 

We expect someone who is imperfect—to love us perfectly. 

Standby…there is GOOD news!

God has given us Himself—the embodiment of perfect love.

God’s love is our place of refuge and safety—free from fear.

“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear…We love him, because He first loved us.”  

1 John 4:18-19

Perfect love comes from God, Who gave Himself completely for tarnished, unlovable, and imperfect people. If we want perfect love, we must seek God with all our heart. In His presence, we will learn to experience love as He does. He is the only one we will ever love Who is ALREADY so full of love, He doesn’t NEED to take anything from us. God does not suck the life out of us! When we are filled with His presence we learn to love like He does—without expectation. Because we cannot out-give God, the more we give away His perfect love, the more He gives us

God is our unfailing source of love. 

Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.”

I Corinthians‬ ‭13:8‬

Only an unfailing God can give us the kind of love that never fails.
